Electrodynamic Screen (EDS™)

Electrodynamic Screen (EDS™) automatically removes dust and improves the energy yield/output power of solar panels without the need to wash the panels with water.

​​Frequent dust storms and chronic dust-carrying winds are characteristic of the semi-arid and desert regions where solar power plants are typically installed, leading to the unavoidable situation wherein the surface of the solar collectors, both solar mirrors and photovoltaic (PV) panels, get covered by layers of dust. This soiling can impede energy production and output of solar panels. Current solar panel cleaning methods are cost-inefficient and money intensive for each cleaning cycle. Billions of liters of potable water are wasted to clean solar utility plants.

The EDS can avoid wasting potable water resources, reduce the need for human labor to clean solar panels, and allow solar plants to operate at maximum efficiency.
